Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, then stir in the baking powder, salt, sugar and oil until evenly combined.
  2. Add the water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough, continuing for about 10 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough and leave it to rise until it has visibly puffed up or approximately doubled in volume.
  4. Turn the risen dough out onto a work surface and shape it into a round, using a plate or lid as a guide if you wish.
  5. Preheat a dry pan over medium-high heat until it is hot.
  6. Place the shaped round onto the hot pan.
  7. When the dough begins to puff, flip it over to cook the other side.
  8. Remove the cooked bread and set it in a warm place to rest; the pocket will form as it cools slightly.
